Russell Spratt: Te Ao Māori in New Zealand Workplaces

Today, we sit down with Russell Spratt, Co-Founder of Tau Mai and General Manager of Tribe Group Wellington, to explore the role of Te Ao Māori in New Zealand workplaces, and how organisations can build stronger cultures by embracing Māori values and perspectives.

Russell shares why Tau Mai was created, the importance of Māori capability in New Zealand's growing economy, and how organisations can move beyond tokenism to create workplaces where people genuinely feel they belong. Together, Bruce and Russell discuss leadership, curiosity, authenticity, and how Te Ao Māori can help shape stronger organisations, better decision-making, and a better future for Aotearoa New Zealand.

A big thank you to Russell for taking the time to share his perspective:
